Heartland Hustle - Sevierville

Heartland Hustle - Sevierville is held in Sevierville, Tennessee, on November 7, 2026. A one-mile fun run opens the morning at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 5K race at 9:00 a.m. The half-hour gap between them is enough to run the mile first and still line up for the 3.1 miles if you want both.

Doubling up is a genuine option at these distances: race the mile as a hard warm-up, jog easy for ten minutes, then run the 5K conservatively over its first half. If you would rather do one thing well, pick the 5K and prepare with four to six weeks of running three or four times a week, keeping most of it easy and adding one weekly workout of faster repetitions with full jog recoveries.
